2.5 Turbo Fuel Mileage Question

With my 1992 300D 2.5 Turbo, I typically get 24 mpg city, 30 mpg highway. However, I have seen several on this board with my car (1990-1993 300D) getting upwards of 37 mpg highway and a solid 30 mpg city.

My question: is my experience within "acceptable limits" (so many factors affect mileage) or is my mileage enough on the low side as to suggest that there's something that needs to be addressed/fixed?

Thanks.
